A Critical Study Of The Theory Of Fixed Capital And Current Capital In Capital

Based on the text of Capital,this paper focuses on the criticism of classical economics on fixed capital and current capital.Based on Marx's criticism of the classical economics theory of fixed capital and current capital,this paper argues that Marx developed and improved the scientific theory of fixed capital and current capital,and innovated the theory of constant capital and variable capital.This paper consists of 5 chapters.Chapter 1 introduction.This chapter mainly explains the research background and significance,the research status at home and abroad,the research methods and the innovation and shortcomings.Modern western economics divides capital into fixed cost and variable capital at the micro level,while at the macro level,labor and capital are regarded as two production factors respectively.In the modern western economics' theories about capital divided the research background,this article based on the Marxist classic Capital,aims at providing a basic theory of Marxist political economics with theoretical significance,for the construction of the political economy of socialism with Chinese characteristics provides realistic significance,for the economic development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.This chapter also summarizes the research status at home and abroad,and summarizes the related research of domestic scholars into two categories: Marx's theory on fixed capital and current capital and classical economists to compare and analyze Marx's contribution to the division of fixed capital and current capital,and summarizes the related research of different foreign schools.This paper uses historical materialism,dialectical materialism,normative analysis,documentary method and comparative analysis to critically study the fixed capital and current capital theory in capital.The innovation of this paper is that it can be based on Marx's labor theory of value,with value as the core of Capital on the theory of fixed capital and current capital.The disadvantage of this paper is that it only focuses on the theory contained in Capital,but ignores the difference between fixed capital and working capital in Marx's Critical Manuscripts of Political Economy.Chapter 2 Smith and Ricardo on introduction to the theory of fixed capital and current capital.This chapter mainly summarizes the main contents of Smith's and Ricardo's theories on fixed capital and current capital.Smith's theory on fixed capital and current capital mainly summarizes that Smith's theory originated from the physiocratic school.Ricardo's theory on fixed capital and current capital mainly summarizes that Ricardo's theory originated from Smith.Ricardo divided fixed capital and current capital according to the form of value and redefined the components of fixed capital and current capital on the basis of Smith.Chapter 3 is the critique of Smith and Ricardo's theory in capital.This chapter mainly analyzes Marx's criticism of Smith and Ricardo's theory of fixed capital and current capital in capital.In capital,Marx criticized Smith's use of crude empirical methods to distinguish fixed capital from current capital,his departure from the division of productive capital,his confusion between current capital and circulating capital,and his mistakes in the relationship between capital and profit.In Capital,Marx criticized Ricardo for inheriting Smith's chaos,for his confusion of value turnover and value multiplication,for equating fixed capital with constant capital and current capital with variable capital.Chapter 4 on the development of fixed capital and current capital theory in capital.This chapter mainly analyzes the improvement of Marx's theory of fixed capital and current capital and the innovation of Marx's theory of constant capital and variable capital.Marx perfected the theory of fixed capital and current capital,made clear the object of dividing the fixed capital and current capital,and made clear the division of the fixed capital and current capital based on the mode of turnover of value,and scientifically defined the components of the fixed capital and current capital.Marx innovated the theory of constant capital and variable capital,the distinction of value transfer and value creation,the distinction of value turnover and value proliferation,and the scientific demonstration of the source of surplus value.Chapter 5 conclusion.Summarized in this paper,Smith and Ricardo about fixed capital and the analysis of the flow of capital theory,as well as Marx to Smith and Ricardo in divided fixed capital and the capital flows when the chaos of criticism,also summarizes the Marx's theory of fixed capital and current capital and the constant capital and the alterable capital theory innovation,and on the basis of this illustrates the real source of the surplus value,and further reveals the secrets of capitalist production.
